One of the really great things these online services have achieved is to have changed general opinion on the whole digital distribution model. It works and file size is way less of an issue than it use to be.

What cpayne93 said isn't off topic at all. He was replying to a comment by StrongMan in which he stated PSN was the best gaming service around. cpayne93 merely countered that with his view that Steam is the best service in gaming. Not flamebait either but more like what could potentially be a good opening to a debate on which service offers more value for money.

But this is N4G so instead of a good debate breaking out all you get is a lazy "such a troll comment" or "flamebait". Sigh.

"i dont consider Steam a service more like an online store , you don't pay to use Steam"

You don't pay to use PSN either, but just like PSN, Steam allows you to buy online content and launch it through Steams portal. They're very similiar services if you leave out the option of paying for PS+.

@J86blum I suggest you get a better internet connection as the new PSN Store (SEN or whatever they're calling it now) works fine for me. No slowness, no issues, so it's your side not theirs that has the problem.

One thing i didnt like on the PSN that said it was free but was more like a timed demo/trial was Zen Pinball on the Vita. It said it's "free" but you actually have to buy a pack to keep playing. I wish i could report it.

agreed, I downloaded it too because it was in the "Free games" section and it lets you play for like 10 mins and you hit the score cap and wants you to purchace the retail version. Thats a demo not a free game.

Agreed... But I wish it was more like kz2. Kz2 is by far GG's best game overall and IMO best fps this gen. They went to far away from what made 2 so good and I it seems like a rushed game. I wish they will take time to make kz4 the best it can be building upon kz2 formula.

Except for jetpack joyride which I believe is realtively new, both killzone multiplayer and DC universe online have been free to play for a while now, dc universe especially I think its been like a year or two.

Dc universe is a lot of fun and i recommend it. You dont have to pay for the expansions for it to feel like a full game, but I would like to get to them one day.
